Abstract

277,684. Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Martin, G. F., and Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co.). Sept. 16, 1926, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. By solid unidirectional conducting devices; condensers.-In an asymmetric conducting device of the copper-copper oxide type, a neutral contact with the oxide coating on the copper elements is produced by reducing a portion of the oxide coating to form a conducting element of reduced copper. The copper blanks are heated in an oxidizing atmosphere to temperatures from 500 to 1000‹ C. to produce a layer of cuprous oxide covered by a layer of cupric oxide thereon, and after cooling to a temperature dependent on the quenching medium to be employed, are quenched in a medium which decomposes to form a reducing agent which converts the cupric oxide layer to metallic copper. Mineral or vegetable oils or mixtures thereof, gasoline, and alcohol are given as examples of quenching media. The coatings are then removed, as by sand blasting, from one side and the peripheries of the copper blanks which are then assembled on an insulated bolt to form a rectifier. Two rectifiers may be connected in opposition to form a condenser.
